Windows XP Pro Freezes

I've recently started to have problems with XP freezing completely requiring a power-off to restart. This can happen at any time, even when idle. Looking at the event log I'm getting frequent errors of the two types shown below :


Event Type: Error
Event Source: COM+
Event Category: Unknown
Event ID: 4689

Time: 05:58:14

Description:
The run-time environment has detected an inconsistency in its internal state. This indicates a potential instability in the process that could be caused by the custom components running in the COM+ application, the components they make use of, or other factors. Error in d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\comsvcs\events\eventserver.cpp(2334), hr = 80040154: Failed to CoCreate EventSystem object.
